What is causing my Savana 3500 to shake when I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your Savana 3500 as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.

What is the total number of brake pads on my Savana 3500?

It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your Savana 3500 to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

What is the average lifespan of Savana 3500 brake pads?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Savana 3500 can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Is it bad if my Savana 3500 is leaking brake fluid when off?

Your Savana 3500 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
